Tail gaiters
We have all been there with these people who just don't care how close they get up our rear ends.
I mean it can be very nerve racking when someone is on your ***.
What do you do?

Speed up, get clear of them, get off the road, and let them pass seems like a decent idea. But this isnt an issue I deal with often since I ride above the limit pretty much always. And I dont hang out long behind cars that don't, which allows others to pile up behind me. Without knowing your situation I have to ask, are you a rolling road block?

Looks as if your out there looking for trouble. A 4,000 plus lb car vs a 900 lb Harley isn't a good match up.

I do the same. Always a good idea to just let them pass. Although in situations where I'm unable to let them pass right away I've been known to let them know in various ways that tail gating me isn't appreciated.

I just slow down continuously. I don't brake check them. Eventually they become more annoyed with me than I am with them, and they will pass, leaving me to enjoy my ride.
In today's culture, if you let every dumbass you encounter get to you, the only high density jacket you'll get to wear will include padded walls, and a steady diet of "happy pills".

Pull over and let them go. Ill pull into a gas station or shopping center to just chill and let them go on down the road. They may or may not know they are following too close. Life is too short....and people are crazy. Cage VS Bike......usually the cage comes out on top.
Be careful what you post on the internet. It stays their for ever. Some where, some time, down the road something does happen, hopefully not.....but those pictures could be used against you. You never know what the future holds for you. If that's the way you plan to move them back, fine.......... but you better keep it to yourself.
These are different times we ride in. Everyone has a cell phone taking pictures, making videos, best to just let them go.
